"At 6 A. wind heading, stood for the-Thousand
Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide passage through
them, stood for it. At 11 do. entered the passage
with r boat ahead, with Ue second officer in it. • At
Meridian, wind come ahead, which caused us to beat
through the passage, which was about 1£ mile* wide.
Latitude observed nt noon, being then in the middle
of the pastmee, was 5 deg. 26 min south; allowing
tlie ship to be 6 miles west oi the South-Watcher, the
longitude, at the time uf observation, would bo 106

with the islands in heating through on both sides.
This pnssnge, from the eastward, runs about 3 miles,

altogether. The *oeffl which extend from theBe isl

the ship, also one small island, about 4 feet above the
level of the sen, with three remarkable trees upon it,
two of which are upon the ends, the other in the
centre of the islnnd. This island is seen before enter
ing tho passage from tho eastwnrd, and is to be left
on the starboard hand. After getting through, saw the
passago mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the
British Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also suw the four islands which the same gen
tleman said he left to the northward of him; the pas

Masters are particularly warn
ed to'keep their jacks flying, although they may have
taken a boatman on board, and engaged his boat and
crew to procure a pilot from the shore. The pilot
cutters show a largo green light during the night, and
display a flare up every 15 minutes.
“N. B.—There are now no licensed boatmen ; their
licenses have been long siDce revoked, and the act au
thorising their being granted repealed. Masters
should avoid being imposed upon by uny persons pre
tending to have licenses.
"Masters should, on no account, pay the shipping
money to the boat’s crew, but in every cose to the
ilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it
..as been decided in several cases, by the judge of the
County Court in Dover and Deal, that although the
boat’s crew may have received the shipping money,
or more, from the captain, it is still due,to the pilot,
and from him to the boatmen.”
Neuvita9, (Cuba) Feb. 8,—Not having observed
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently erecetecl
near the entrance of this bay, I take the liberty of
calling your attention to the fact, as it will be of great
importance to vossels sailing on the North side of
tlie island. A couple of English vesHels lately arriv
ed here, having no knowledge of such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying otf and on for 36
hours, and that in tlie vicinity ot one of the most
dangerous reefs on tho whole coast The Lighthouse
is Amilt on point Maternillos—long. 77 14, and lat.
21 40—of white limestone, and can easily be seen nt
twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted for the first
time, on the first of May. I believe it is the highest
in America, being 186 Spanish feet (or 171 Eng.) in
height, costing nearly $200,000 when finished.
The lamp and machinery to be used are French, nnd
were exhibited at the lute Fair in Paris. It is now
being placed by a French engineer.. The whole struc
ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Com-
pazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the ltoynl Corps of
Engineers. It is to lie' called ‘Colon,’ the nnme
being pluced in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
about nnlf-way up the tower, so as to be seen some
distance. The lighthouse will bo of great utility to
mariners in eavingllfe anil property. The reef known
here by the name of ‘Real do los Catalanes’ has been
a fatal spot It runs nearly Norlh a ‘ m
twelve miles, extending out in some places a Icag,2.
from the beach. In December, 1846, the New Qr _
leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the for mpr
place, was lost here. The captain and more than f or
ty passengers peri died. The same Winter the g„
brig Zedora, Br. brigs Maid of Mona, Terpsichore
and Achiever, were all lost within a mile of where
the Creole struck. Point Maternillos is the starting

close All diseases of the hair originate in the
skin of the head. If tho pores of the scalp
are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do
notcirculate freely through the small vessels
which feed the roots with moisture, and im
part life to tho fibres, the result is scurf, dund
iuff, shedding of their hair, grayneas, dryness,
and harshness of tho liguments, and entire
baldffess, as tho case may be. Stimulate the
skin to healthful action with the Tricopherous,
and the torpid vessels, recovering their activity,
will annihilate the disease. I11 all affections of
the skin, and of the substrata of muscles and
integuments, the process and the effect are the

nnd the glands, that the Trio.ophfrous has its
specific action, and in all affections ami injuries
of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.
